Published in 1999 – Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. The book was a Journalism course’s final project at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul
Last Sunday took me back to 1999, when Sandra Porto and I published the book “A TRAIN TO THE WEST”. This book was a final university project, the first of its kind. The book has an old-fashioned and minimalist look. It is in hard cover and in A3 landscape format.
We aimed to describe a romantic overview of the personages involved on the construction of the railway Noroeste do Brasil. We followed their tracks to discover a hidden story and to unveil the influences that these people brought to the west of Brazil. It was a complex journey to do, travelling with strangers to see old stations and taking photos of abandoned trains.
Anyway, we enjoyed our first adventure as junior journalists.
Camilla Groen in her secret world, where she celebrates colours, love and art.
I first encountered Camilla’s work in a moment of celebrating love, at the Valentine’s fair. It was the most inspiring corner with string artwork and paper crafts.
Camilla went to university in the capital of Rio de Janeiro to get her degree in International Relations. She worked at Petrobras, where she met her husband. In 2012 they moved to The Netherlands.
She is a dedicated mother of three beautiful children. With great enthusiasm, she says: “I love my family.”
She adds: I fell in love with string art.
Certainly, her pieces are a great romance. Her fingers flirt with strings showing off their best of colours.
The pieces below are available! Contact Camilla Groen
